Details: MARY ANN BELL (retired), Darby-street, was born in 1882 at Mitchell Dean, Gloucester, and married in 1847. She left the old country in 1852, and on arrival in Sydney, lived in the metropolis for five weeks. At the end of this time she proceeded to Sofala diggings to join her husband, and resided there about two years. It was at this place that her husband died in 1855, and our subject was left with a family of four children totally unprovided for. In the June of 1855 she removed to Newcastle, of which place she has since been a resident. For seventeen years she kept a general store in Blane -street, and in 1857 married Mr. Christiansen. This gentleman died in 1866, but his widow struggled along, and succeeded in making a good provision for her family. In 1872 she contracted a third marriage with Mr. Bell, who four years and eight months afterwards met his death. Mrs. Bell has started her two sons in the businesses of butcher and baker respectively, and has accumulated various house property . She resided for several years at Wickham and Jesmond, but is now settled with her son Engebret, who is a baker in Darby-street.

Surname: Bell Buoy, Big Ben Reef, Newcastle
First Name: -
Ship: LH
Date: 19 December 1872
Place: Newcastle
Source: Newcastle Chronicle
Details: The Bell Buoy on Big Ben Reef – This buoy, which had attracted so much attention for some days past in the harbour, on account of its novel appearance and huge proportions, was safely moored yesterday morning, on the outer point of Big Ben Reef off Nobbys, in a direct line with the lighthouse and the wharf at the steam cranes. The material used in the construction of this buoy is boiler-plate iron, with a band of timber around it. in shape it may be said to be semi-oval ; the smaller end, to which an immense chain, weighing three tons, is attached, is in the water, and is partly open, which tends with the weight of the chains to keep, the buoy in a vertical position ; the clappers, four in number, being outside, will strike only on the weather side with a force in accordance with the motion of the sea. The mooring is formed of the flanges of the screw which once belonged to one of her Majesty s ships, and which had become unserviceable in these waters ; it weighs twelve tons. There are two chains attached to this huge block of iron - one of which only is used, the other is left to assist in staying the mooring until the chain in use is found to be so worn as to be unserviceable. Each of these chains - thirty feet in length - consists of ten links, the weight of each link being over live hundred weight. The whole of these preparations were completed by Messrs. Rodgers, who put them together, and cast the bell at their foundry. We believe this is the largest bell that has ever been cast in the colony. It is constructed entirely of colonial materials. The copper is colonial, being from Wallaroo, and the tin from the Smelting works of Mr. C. J. Stephens, of Stockton. It will be heard two miles off at sea. In the opinion of nautical men, it will be of great service to steamers and vessels in foggy weather, when the beacons are not visible. We believe this bell buoy will be of great service to the port. Tho Messrs. Rodgers appear to have completed the work in a satisfactory manner.
